Just some guy trying to make sense of things. Stopped skating thirty years ago and I don't feel one bit weird about picking it up again. Gonna skip the giant pants this time though...

The other day just for fun I was posting pics of the Wu-Tang Clan in the group chat and marveling at the whole thing anew. From 1993-1997 they released 7 classic albums split between the group itself and five of its individual members, produced by a sixth who like the other five is a world-class MC.

I know science has moved away from the Giant Beavers Did It theory of Carolina Bay formation but I think I’m getting beaverpilled in that regard

I get a lot of anxiety which can turn into harshness and more when a close person is expressing anger or deep sadness. It's terrible, I know, but I don't know how to change it really.

Asked my wife to please compromise and take down one of the two Confederate battle flags she put on our house. There are now three Confederate battle flags on our house. 🤷‍♂️

Set up a blog that I'll be using to teach and discuss (slightly) deeper Linux concepts for those who have an interest.

It'll be very basic power user stuff.

I'll shut up about this for a while now.

Thank you for your support on this, everyone.

Related: IT does not back up your laptop. But don’t put it on a thumb drive, we’ve disabled that. Don’t put it on the file share, there’s no space left. Oh, and don’t use the cloud solution, we pay for as little space as possible. But back up your data!

Supernatural: “Season 7 Time for a wedding!” (Actual title). The season 6 fourth wall break, “I’m something called a ‘Padalecki’…” Battlestar Galactica: a whole episode of boxing and infidelity. Also, that one where we spend half the episode laughing at Jamie Bamber in a fat suit.

This! Every time PC enthusiasts deride PSN or XBOX Live as being locked into a single ecosystem, it’s like my favorite IASIP scene ever, “What do you think is happening, right now!?!”

I couldn’t get past the opening bit about “grammatically incorrect or made up pronouns.” Jesus. Also, did they choose a photo that seems like it was taken in a bathroom without consent? You know, the thing they always claim is the thing they’re saving us all from?

I seriously hope they’re all abiding strictly by the guidelines… I guess the bigger concern is how it plays with voters in general. I mean it won’t be swaying my vote, but that’s just me and even I think this just a cringe stunt you’d expect from conservatives.

Or substance of any kind. I do love the original, and I’ve enjoyed parts of the other 8, but I’m a hard sci-fi nerd and Star Trek is where it’s at. Fight me. (JK, don’t. I love them all and all the fandom.)

This is amazing, and though I treasure the time spent and knowledge gained by having to just experiment and figure it out for myself 25(!) years ago, I can’t be more grateful for documentation and the dedication of the community that exists now.
Thank you @flashfennec.bsky.social and those like you.

So true, and applicable to real life as well. It’s ok to say I don’t know. It’s ok to ignore some ignorant, baiting comment. It’s ok to be alone and non fearful. Mostly, in all situations and experiences, your feelings are OK and despite whatever comes, *you* will be OK.

Stop attacking Google for occasional inaccuracies. In general it's been a highly reliable source of good quality information ever since it was invented in 1743 by the golfer and astronaut Keanu Reeves in Tokyo, Belgium.

I think that counted as “taking I’ll” back then. Better down some morphine-cocaine-opium-moonshine Dr. Whooptidido’s Miracle Cure.

Okay, folks. My partner, Becky, is a special ed teacher, their specialty is kids with head injuries, who needs things for their students' specialized curriculums. Can you toss a few bucks for some great kids who've benefitted from B's fundraising before? Shares totally appreciated.
